Cheapest kit available?

[pdxrhett]

I need to know the cheapest 49cc kit available as well as the cheapest 80cc...

Quality is not of utmost importance (basically I need them to start), and customer service/shipping IS of utmost importance. I don't want to be waiting forever for kits to get to my house. These are for a project of mine

I'd go with one of the kits from the mbc vendors.

You could likely find one listed on ebay a bit cheaper, but it's a **** shoot as far as trustworthiness goes.

The difference in price between 50 and 80 cc seems to be about 10 to 20 bucks. Almost not enough to worry about.

a ton on ebay -- but

a ton of very low priced on ebay -- but -- bluegoatwoods makes a fine point

have seen the kits mentioned as low as 90 dollars

but -- wouldn't buying from a dealer (maybe here on site)

where you could get good service be worth someTHING extra ??

as we ride those THINGS

of course it would be better, thats why i said customer service is important, but quality is not super important lol

without some good quality -- customer service is to no avail

would be like buying some cheap car that always breaks down
but -- with good customer service
I would love to drive that THING

but -- it's always in the shop

good thing is that it don't cost me a dime -- to walk

the reason quality is not important is because i am testing the idea that a 2 stroke gas powered weedeater we dont take it easy on out of the box, but with these people say to do so. so i am going to run some tests

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

alright. ill explain again, this time with decent grammar..

When you buy a weedeater, do you break it in at all? I surely never have.
But, these motors are the same principle - a weedeater, yet we are told to break them in. I am going to test the idea that breaking them in makes them run "better" and "longer".

So, quality isn't important because I am going to be ordering multiple motors eventually and breaking some in and not breaking others in and see how they perform under rigorous tests.

weedwackers break in -- yes I do

yes I do break in my weedwackers
I don't run them full speed for a while -- vary between 1/3 to 2/3 throttle
and let them have cool off periods

Okay, pdxrhett, I see where you're going with that.

But I wonder if you stand to gain anything from it. Most bike owners treat their first gallon of gas as break-in and ride the bike "break-in style". It doesn't take long and this is during a time that the rider is getting familiar with the bike anyway. During this time the rider is establishing his/her riding style.

If it were determined that break-in is not strictly necessary, wouldn't they still use just about the same time/mileage to get to know their bike and figure out their ongoing speed and style?

I can understand your curiosity (and I approve), but I have the feeling that you'll spend 3, 4 or 5 hundred bucks to little purpose.
